We began our adventure at the RDU airport…after paying extra four our overweight luggage and the extra suitcase we were ready to go!
We arrived in Toronto and had to pick up our luggage, not usually a big deal but we had a lot of luggage and we had to take it from one terminal to another. This also required to walk, take an elevator up, walk some more, take another elevator up, take a train, take an elevator down, walk some more, take another elevator down and walk all the way to the end of the terminal and go through check in all over again. Adam pushed the card with most of our luggage and carried his backpack; I wheeled the largest suitcase with the med. suitcase strapped to it and carried 2 bags.
The girl behind the counter said “why didn’t you just go through the transfer line?” Only because everyone we asked sent us on our little mini trip through the Toronto airport. Next time we dish out the cash for 2 carts!
From there on out we were in business class so it was the best airplane trip I have ever been on. As an employee kid who wasn’t supposed to ask for assistance or expect special treatment…this was wonderful. We watched the Olympics in the lounge with all the free food and drink we could want. Then we made our way to the front of the line (where the important people board…why should we have to wait like everyone else) and sat down in our lounge chairs watching everyone walk back to coach. This, my friend, is the only way to fly!
We got to Hong Kong at 4:30 am
made our way through the airport and found a cab that was willing to take us and the luggage to the hotel!
